is definitely women doing the most work though, at least trying to hold it to ahigher standard. And, I’m not saying, I have worked with guys in my group that do want tohold it to a higher standard, but this might just be because there’s been more men in my groupthan women. But as much as the men are like being lazy or won’t show up to groups or thingslike that, but the women are always, there always trying to do the best work, always takingover the other sections that people forget about.”In interpreting peer microaggressions some Black students noted that for many students in theCollege, they served as their one “Black friend.” One student stated: “… a lot of our peers haven’t been exposed to black people throughout their

section of papers were grouped under the Miscellaneous label. More than half of these 17papers were concerned with comparing human and AI outputs across domains. One example[98] compared the results of various LLM responses to mechanical engineering exam questionswhile another [99] performed a similar test on computer engineering exam questions. Most ofthese papers tended to find mixed results depending on the evaluation frameworks selected.This is to say, humans and AIs do not perform similarly on all metrics, and so in somecases, the LLM can be found to outperform humans, for example, in applying heuristics,while humans may beat the LLMs on math (e.g., [100], [101]). Authors across these papersrecommend that educators think deeply about the

Othermakerspaces in the engineering department serve different functions. The prototype lab is filledwith craft materials that make useful aids for conceiving and communicating designs.

-institutional study of students’ transitions fromtheir capstone (senior) design experiences into engineering work [21-24]. The sections belowdescribe the sites, participants, data collection, and data analysis.Site DescriptionsThe research study involves four different universities: two large public comprehensiveuniversities (one in the mountain west and one in the mid-Atlantic), one small public technicaluniversity in the southeast, and one small private college in the northeast. Three have a year-longcapstone design program and one has a four-semester design sequence that spans the junior andsenior years. All focus heavily on industry-sponsored projects; three also include faculty-sponsored and national-competition projects. All emphasize

of technologists downstream from the designer. (Further relevant aspects,primarily trade-offs, of this are discussed in the section on concurrent development.)Perseverance, likewise, is also an essential characteristic of engineers as well as artists. Forartists, the very process of nurturing a vision from conception to execution is often a matter ofperseverance. Obstacles include the financial difficulty of obtaining materials. This may rangefrom the metal sculptor’s purchase of raw materials and tools to the musician’s purchase ofappropriate gear or rental of studio space. Once those resources are present, for the lone artist,there is the challenge of mastering all the techniques and tools necessary to realize a vision, andfor the artist

MethodsContext and ParticipantsParticipants included 27 grade K-8 teachers in a mid-Atlantic state. These teachers representedthe first of two cohorts involved in an NSF funded project designed to support ETS instruction.Baseline data was collected on these teachers prior to professional development between Januaryand April 2020. Participants were primarily White (n = 20) and female (n = 23). Teachingexperience ranged from one to thirty-four years (M = 12.6; SD = 10.0).

TechnologyDr. Eric J. AlmDr. Alison F Takemura, US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute Alison loves wading into a good science story. Her first was her MIT doctoral thesis project, unlocking the gastronomical genome of a Vibrio bacterium. For some of the Vibrio’s meals, she collected seaweed from the rocky, Atlantic coastline at low tide. (Occasionally, its waves swept her off her feet.) During grad school, Alison was also a fellow in MIT’s Biological Engineering Communication Lab. Helping students share their science with their instructors and peers, she began to crave the ability to tell the stories of other scientists, and the marvels they discover, to a broader audience. So after graduating in 2015 with a
